📢💾 Introducing the Common Crawl Creative Commons Corpus (C5)!
C5 is a large-scale effort to heavily filter web-crawled data, as collected by the non-profit Common Crawl, to only documents that are Creative Commons-licensed such as cc-by-4.0 or public domain cc0. At this stage 150 billion tokens have been collected.
</> To build C5, HTML pages are scrutinized and all links (if any) to CC licenses are collected, both in regular hyperlinks as well as in metadata. Additional data fields are included such as "was the license found in the head?" or "if multiple licenses were found, do they contradict each other?", which makes further filtering a breeze.
🌐 In this first version of C5, 8 languages are included (Afrikaans, German, English, French, Frysian, Italian, Dutch and Spanish). The language set was limited for two reasons: computational and storage limitations, and a collaboration with GPT-NL, which requested CC data for these languages to train a Dutch-focused, copyright-conscious LLM. In total, this V1 release contains almost 150 thousand documents and 150 billion tokens. This data was not filtered on quality nor deduplicated so that you can decide for yourself how much data to keep. To give some quality indication, a dataset field is present to describe whether a document is included in the FineWeb(-2) datasets, which are of high quality.
🔍 More work needs to be done! Only 7 out of 100+ Common Crawl crawls have been processed so far. That's encouraging because it means there is a lot more Creative Commons data to be collected! But to get there I need help in terms of compute. The current processing was already heavily sponsored by the Flemish Supercomputer but more is needed. If you have the compute available and which to collaborate in an open and transparent manner, please get in touch!
Meta released Llama Guard 4 and new Prompt Guard 2 models 🔥
Llama Guard 4 is a new model to filter model inputs/outputs both text-only and image 🛡️ use it before and after LLMs/VLMs! meta-llama/Llama-Guard-4-12B
DeepSeek, Alibaba, Skywork, Xiaomi, Bytedance..... And that’s just part of the companies from the Chinese community that released open models in April 🤯

At xet-team we've been hard at work bringing a new generation of storage to the Hugging Face community, and we’ve crossed some major milestones:
👷 Over 2,000 builders and nearing 100 organizations with access to Xet 🚀 Over 70,000 model and dataset repositories are Xet-backed 🤯 1.4 petabytes managed by Xet
As we move repos from LFS to Xet for everyone we onboard, we’re pushing our content-addressed store (CAS). Check out the chart below 👇 of CAS hitting up to 150 Gb/s throughput this past week.
All of this growth is helping us build richer insights. We expanded our repo graph, which maps how Xet-backed repositories on the Hub share bytes with each other.
Check out the current network in the image below (nodes are repositories, edges are where repos share bytes) and visit the space to see how different versions of Qwen, Llama, and Phi models are grouped together xet-team/repo-graph
🦥 Introducing Unsloth Dynamic v2.0 GGUFs! Our v2.0 quants set new benchmarks on 5-shot MMLU and KL Divergence, meaning you can now run & fine-tune quantized LLMs while preserving as much accuracy as possible.
We made selective layer quantization much smarter. Instead of modifying only a subset of layers, we now dynamically quantize all layers so every layer has a different bit. Now, our dynamic method can be applied to all LLM architectures, not just MoE's.
All our future GGUF uploads will leverage Dynamic 2.0 and our hand curated 300K–1.5M token calibration dataset to improve conversational chat performance.
For accurate benchmarking, we built an evaluation framework to match the reported 5-shot MMLU scores of Llama 4 and Gemma 3. This allowed apples-to-apples comparisons between full-precision vs. Dynamic v2.0, QAT and standard iMatrix quants.
Dynamic v2.0 aims to minimize the performance gap between full-precision models and their quantized counterparts.
Energy is a massive constraint for AI but do you even know what energy your chatGPT convos are using?
We're trying to change this by releasing ChatUI-energy, the first interface where you see in real-time what energy your AI conversations consume. Great work from @jdelavande powered by spaces & TGI, available for a dozen of open-source models like Llama, Mistral, Qwen, Gemma and more.
Today in Privacy & AI Tooling - introducing a nifty new tool to examine where data goes in open-source apps on 🤗
HF Spaces have tons (100Ks!) of cool demos leveraging or examining AI systems - and because most of them are OSS we can see exactly how they handle user data 📚🔍
That requires actually reading the code though, which isn't always easy or quick! Good news: code LMs have gotten pretty good at automatic review, so we can offload some of the work - here I'm using Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct to generate reports and it works pretty OK 🙌
The app works in three stages: 1. Download all code files 2. Use the Code LM to generate a detailed report pointing to code where data is transferred/(AI-)processed (screen 1) 3. Summarize the app's main functionality and data journeys (screen 2) 4. Build a Privacy TLDR with those inputs
It comes with a bunch of pre-reviewed apps/Spaces, great to see how many process data locally or through (private) HF endpoints 🤗
If you've followed the progress of robotics in the past 18 months, you've likely noticed how robotics is increasingly becoming the next frontier that AI will unlock.
At Hugging Face—in robotics and across all AI fields—we believe in a future where AI and robots are open-source, transparent, and affordable; community-built and safe; hackable and fun. We've had so much mutual understanding and passion working with the Pollen Robotics team over the past year that we decided to join forces!
You can already find our open-source humanoid robot platform Reachy 2 on the Pollen website and the Pollen community and people here on the hub at pollen-robotics
We're so excited to build and share more open-source robots with the world in the coming months!
